Just a heads up that this isn't happening today, as you may have noticed.

We're going to make sure that UI v2 is in a "non-dangerous" state.

By "non-dangerous" we specifically mean that it doesn't confer an unnatural advantage over players who aren't in UI v2 (such as being able to tell the troop counts and intentions of an incoming hostile army, or being immediately informed when hostile diplomatic units have been dispatched against you, so you can immediately work out who sent them).

 
I can't see any problem with it being like that when we try it out - call me foolhardy, but in the interests of the community, I'm willing to risk the danger Big smile  Some people just have to take the fun out of things sometimes! LOL

At some point today (02FEB11) we're going to post a link to the UI v2 held on a separate instance; but reading the same underlying data. Players who prefer to explore the UI v2 - and especially those players who wish to help us track down the bugs that were experienced during the brief uptime - will be able to.

Once these major issues are dealt with we'll open up the UI v2 for general usage by those players who wish to explore it, make use of the additional functionality, and/or help us find bugs in it.

We expect to make UI v2 optionally available for the final bughunt/push sometime this coming weekend.

UPDATE

2 issues some players are currently experiencing:

  • An inability to login via some facebook accounts

... have both been traced to an internal bug in facebook that arose at 04:02 this morning.

We're sorry that this is affecting some users, but it will go away when facebook resolve their own issue - and there's nothing we can do about it ourselves, unless we start to disconnect facebook integration from Illyriad which we're loathe to do whilst facebook are attempting to resolve the bug.

SC

Wow.  I don't do Facebook, but Facebook can still mess with me.  Death to Facebook!
